Baked Oatmeal Cups with Raisins and Walnuts
Busy mornings? Then you’ll love these baked oatmeal cups with walnuts and sweet raisins. Why oatmeal? It’s high in soluble fiber, which helps with digestion and metabolizing carbs, it can help lower LDL cholesterol and, in turn, improve heart health and regular blood sugar, and it’s high in magnesium, which helps your body process calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K. Add in some walnuts for crunch and a dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and raisins for iron and potassium, and you’ve got one awesome breakfast to help you power through the day.
Make these ahead of time for the whole week and make your mornings a lot easier. They freeze well, too! To reheat, just thaw in the fridge overnight and microwave when you’re ready for breakfast.
